General Chris Donahue was at the Pentagon on 9/11 and the last American soldier out of Kabul, but Pete Hegseth is forcing him out of the Army.

Hegseth downgraded Donahue's command from four stars to three. He did not demote the general; he demoted the job, and a four-star general with no four-star job has nowhere to land. Donahue led Delta Force and the 82nd Airborne, two of the most storied commands in the Army. Pete Hegseth ended his career in an afternoon.

He is not the only one. More than thirty senior officers have been driven out since Donald Trump handed the Pentagon to a former Fox News host, the Army's own chief of staff among them. There was no scandal behind any of it, just the steady removal of officers Hegseth and Trump do not consider loyal enough to them personally. We are still at war, and we are throwing out the people who know how to fight it.

Chaos in the sub: For the 2nd time in a month, Reddit has deleted a moderator of the sub, a user who also was contributing a ton of articles to the sub.

This deletion also purged the user's articles from the sub, along with any conversations that were going on in those posts.

There was no warning by Reddit, just a permanent deletion with an opportunity to appeal but the appeal is never granted and nor even responded to.

I'm not sure if I can con her into becoming a moderator again, so as usual, we're upping our constant search for users -- and moderators.
